Sigma Xi Grants-in-Aid of Research Program (GIAR)

Sigma Xi’s GIAR program awards grants of up to $1,000 to students from all areas of the sciences and engineering. Designated funds from the National Academy of Sciences allow for grants of up to $5,000 for astronomy research and $2,500 for vision related research. Students use the funding to pay for travel expenses to and from a research site, or for purchase of non-standard laboratory equipment necessary to complete a specific research project. Applications are due March 15 and October 15 annually. For more information, see the link below:
